oh geese! 🦆 what a good question! XD hehe! things have been pretty wild lately~ so it sounds very good to take a moment and stop to reflect on some nice things!
1) resetting my color wheel whenever i start a new drawing i always reset my color wheel to a cool blue. it’s my absolute favourite sketching color. while i will occasionally change it to a color that better reflects the mood or fandom i’m drawing for~ this little act of resetting just always helps me clear my mind. i’ll even do it mid-drawing if i feel stuck (^ __^)
2) sugar shaped like stars be it candies or sprinkles, i just LOVE THEM! the shape of pure, sugar happiness! i just paid way too much the other day for a big bag of my favourite ones! XD but they’re just so satisfying - in a tactile sense - to roll between your fingers and along your tongue! konpeito, especially so!
3) this character dynamic any variations on the one where person A is loud, rude, mean, or overconfident, and person B is sweet, good, kind, or sensible and they’re just what one another needs? WOW! LOVE IT!!!!! BIG FAN!!!! never get tired of it! XD (ie: Ban and Ginji, Bakugo and Kirishima, Echizen and Miyano, Abe and Mihashi, Crowley and Aziraphale, Barnaby and Kotetsu, Heero and Duo, Nezumi and Shion, i could go on and on and on~ lol lol lol)
4) my new haircut for a long, long time my hair was my security blanket. i loved having long hair and it meant a lot to me. especially as i lost more and more of it to medication changes and hormone therapy. but i finally plucked up the confidence to cut it! and then, to even shave the back of my head! which has been a dream of mine for YEARS! and i feel really good! (^ w ^) the person in the mirror is still a bit unfamiliar, but i’m really interested in them and excited to watch them grow!
5) frog memes cuz frogs. obvs.
lol lol lol! and now i am going to secretly send this to some people randomly! but i also just think everyone should do it! the news is currently horrific and we should all take a moment to think about five little happinesses we can turn to when we have to try to switch off the dread a go to sleep at night 💚
